Abstract excerpt
Runs of homozygosity (ROH) are continuous stretches of homozygous loci generated from identical haplotypes inherited from a common ancestor. ROH hotspots could be an indicator of footprints from artificial and/or natural selection processes. Here, genomic information of 937 individuals from commercial Saanen herds selected in Brazilian tropical environments was used to characterize the population genetic...
